Legend TT

1999 Triumph Legend TT Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Triumph for the classic motorcycle segment, the 1999 Triumph Legend TT relies on a 885 cc (54 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 68 HP (49.6 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 68 Nm (50.2 lb-ft) at 4,800 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 76.8 HP per liter and a 3,200 rpm working window between peak torque (4,800 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the Legend TT measures 234 kg (516 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.29 HP/kg (3.44 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 740 mm (29.1 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,580 mm (62.2 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.7 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 263 km (163 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 190 km/h (118 mph).
